crockett Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I just realized that I didn't get a phonebook / yellow pages in years. Did they finally stop wasting paper? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they finally stop wasting paper? I'm not sure. I think some people still get them, but I don't know who makes them, at this point. I don't know if I don't miss them because it is easier to find someone online/on the cellphone, or because I just don't go out of my way to talk to anyone on the phone any more, unless I absolutely have to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pull it up. Yellow pages stopped printing in 2019, not sure about phone books, looks like they are a thing of the past as well. All of the sudden I want them back lol 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they finally stop wasting paper? I live in a rural community and receive Yellow Pages - sometimes Real Yellow Pages - maybe once a year. About the thickness of a typical perfect bound magazine. What kind of legal/rights department loses “Yellow Pages” after decades and has to come up with “Real Yellow Pages”? Maybe this kind?

Huaco Kid Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 We still get a small (6"x8"?) about 1/2" thick. Very local. Half white, half yellow. I guess we "get" them. They just seem to throw them all over everyone's lawns and scatter them throughout the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'll pick up all I can find, because they always have a magnet advertisement on the cover. Lawyers or AC repair companies. I don't know why I need so many flat magnets. But I need magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have a very fond college memory of coming home from work late one night to find a young lady attempting to deliver them. They were heavy...and there was no way she should have done it alone. Anyway. I spent the next several hours helping her deliver them. She offered to pay me. I told her not to worry about it.

Once upon a time rural people had no phones but received Sears catalogs. When my mother took us to visit her rural family she smuggled toilet paper. I quickly learned why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a tremendous amount of information in them. Libraries used to have more in depth versions that would allow reverse lookups and other details. We're going back to when there were card catalogs. I had an applied fact finding class in journalism were we learned a boat load about such resources. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
